I went to complain about the heat but remembered it's my last day as a 49 yr old and I flipped the script and decided to be grateful.

Every day after a cancer diagnosis is a GIFT.

And even though my running practice is different now and my body has changed after radiation and treatment I can sit with ALL OF THIS as long as I can kiss my family good night each day.

What apraxia has taught me:

The therapeutic relationship is everything.

Before targets, repetitions, and progress…there has to be trust.

Children have to feel safe enough to try something difficult over and over again.

The children and families I’ve worked with throughout my career have taught me so much about resilience, persistence, and presence — both as a clinician and as a person.

This Apraxia Awareness Month, I’m feeling especially grateful for everything these children have taught me along the way. 🤍

Good therapy isn’t just about the plan.

It’s about what you notice in the moment —
and how you respond.

In motor speech therapy, learning depends on attention.

When a child is watching, listening, and trying with intention, progress begins!
